THE CONCEPTUAL MODEL
The aim of the Italian language and culture programs of study is the development of
communicative competence in Italian.
Four Components
Forthe purposes of the programs of study, communicative competence is represented by four
interrelated and interdependent components.
Applications deal with what the students will be able to do with the language, the functions
they will be able to perform and the contexts in which they will be able to operate.
Language Competence addresses the students' knowledge ofthe language and their
ability to use that knowledge to interpret and produce meaningful texts appropriate to the
situations in which they are used.
Global Citizenship aims to develop intercultural competence, with a particular focus on
culture ofthe Italian-speaking world.
Strategies help students learn and communicate more effectively and more efficiently.
Each of these components is described more fully in the programs of study.
